Benefits package

Health and wellbeing are key to happiness. This is why we provide a comprehensive benefits package. When our employees are healthy and happy, our operations run more efficiently and we can better serve our customers. We are constantly seeking ways to promote wellness in the workplace.

Consumer-driven health plans

Our consumer-driven health strategy includes two high-deductible medical plan choices. Both plans offer a Health Savings Account and incentives for participating in the company wellness program, including company contributions to your account. Employees may choose to cover themselves, an eligible spouse and/or eligible children.

The MDC Wellness Program was created to promote a healthy lifestyle among employees. Components include a confidential health risk assessment, biometric screening, a pregnancy support program, the promotion of a tobacco-free environment and preventive health care measures and initiatives designed for disease management.

Dental and vision coverage

The company offers Dental PPO and vision coverage to help employees cover dental and vision expenses. Again, you may choose to cover yourself, an eligible spouse and/or eligible children.

Life and AD&D insurance

MDC provides all benefits-eligible employees with $50,000 in basic life and AD&D insurance. Supplemental coverage can be purchased for yourself, an eligible spouse and your dependent children. The supplemental life insurance plan offers guaranteed issue amounts in the initial enrollment period.

Short-term & long-term disability

We provide both short-term and long-term disability coverage to non-sales employees in the event of unexpected injury or illness. This coverage provides 60% of the employee’s salary as replacement income. Certain limitations and waiting periods apply.

401(k)

Saving for retirement can be challenging. MDC offers a 401(k) savings plan, as well as a Roth savings option, to simplify saving. The plan offers diversified investment options and a five-year vesting schedule. Company match is an annual discretionary match.

Time-off benefits

Time-off benefits are vital to a quality work/life balance. Non-sales employees receive two weeks of paid vacation, eight company-recognized holidays, five sick days and four bonus floating holidays each year. The total time off earned in your first year of employment will be prorated based on your hire date. Sales associates receive 17 days of unpaid personal time each year. The unpaid personal time is prorated in your first year, depending on your date of hire.

Employee assistance program

In today’s complex world, everyone has to manage personal issues such as stress, anxiety, financial difficulties and family relationships. As an employee at MDC, you are entitled to confidential services to help you maintain a work-life balance through the employee assistance program—at no charge.

Excellence in homebuilding

From the beginning, our mission has been to help people attain the American Dream.

More than 175,000 single-family homes later, we haven’t lost sight of that vision. The employees at M.D.C. Holdings, Inc. and all our affiliate companies are the heart of our business. If you have a passion for providing excellent customer service, we may have a place for you.

Company culture

We may be among the biggest builders in the nation, but being the biggest is not our ultimate goal. We're more concerned with being the best. From the quality craftsmanship to the responsive customer service, every aspect of our business is focused on one target: the pursuit of operational excellence.

We want everyone who comes in contact with our company—whether it's a customer, vendor or potential employee—to immediately notice our professionalism on every level. In order to continue to meet this goal, we encourage a company culture that promotes these basic tenants.

Professionalism

The way we conduct ourselves in the workplace is an important part of maintaining a positive company image. Our standards for both conduct and dress are put in place to promote a businesslike, professional attitude in keeping with each employee's specific line of work.

Team environment

Working as a team is central to our success. It's also the key to maintaining a streamlined experience for our customers. We look to hire team players who will work well with others on our workforce.

Health and wellness

When our employees are healthy and happy, our operations run more efficiently and can better serve our customers. It's in our best interest as a company to look for ways to promote wellness in the workplace. Past efforts have included health fairs, low-cost flu shots and more. Programs vary by region.

Work-life balance

Another factor that contributes to a more efficient work environment is a work-life balance for every employee. We encourage our employees to take advantage of their vacation time to relax and recharge so they can thrive both at work and at home.

A career in sales

Though we offer a wide variety of rewarding career opportunities across our company—ranging from accounting to construction positions—our dedicated sales team is the pulse of our business. Our sales associates make the dream of homeownership a reality for families across the nation every day. And it’s the personalized customer service they provide on the front lines that truly gives us an edge.

We are always seeking customer focused, results-oriented individuals with a proven record of sales success to help us continue our tradition of excellence. Experience selling new homes is not necessary, but some states do require a real estate license, which we can assist you with if you meet our other qualifications.

Why work for us?

Compensation

Our compensation plan provides a commission structure that puts an individual in control of driving their personal income potential.

Benefits

A competitive benefits program including medical, dental, vision, 401(k) and home purchase discounts is available.

Leadership selling program

Because the success of our sales team is vital to the success of our business, we offer our sales associates a new home sales training program. Beyond basic sales techniques, this unique program trains and develops sales professionals to achieve sales and personal goals.

Bonus opportunities

The President’s Club was created to honor the best and brightest sales associates across the country. Top performers in both sales and customer satisfaction have taken home travel vouchers, bonus cash and more!
